MCSP buyerโ€™s guide: 6 top managed cloud services providers โ€” and how to choose

9 January 2026 at 05:00

A managed cloud services provider (MCSP) helps organizations run some or all of their cloud environments. This can include moving systems to the cloud, monitoring and maintaining them, improving performance, managing security tools, and helping control costs. MCSPs typically work across public, private, and hybrid cloud environments.

Organizations decide which parts of their cloud environments they want the provider to handle and which parts they want to keep in-house. In most cases, the company and the MCSP share responsibility. The provider manages day-to-day operations and tooling, while the organization stays accountable for business decisions, data, and governance.

Choosing an MCSP is always an unnerving experience, says Brent Riley, MCSP VP of digital forensics and incident response for North America at cybersecurity consultancy CyXcel.

โ€œSo much trust is placed in their ability to perform to the level promised in their SLA, but it can be tough to validate whether theyโ€™re being met until thereโ€™s an outage or cybersecurity incident that reveals issues,โ€ he says. โ€œAt that point, the damage is done. MCSPs are even more challenging to evaluate and select as thereโ€™s no physical infrastructure to inspect, and no visible work being done within an on-premise infrastructure.โ€

Benefits using an MCSP

Reduced operational burden: MCSPs can take on day-to-day cloud management tasks, reducing the need for large internal cloud and infrastructure teams. This is especially helpful for organizations that donโ€™t have deep cloud or FinOps expertise in-house.

Faster problem response: Most MCSPs provide 24/7 monitoring and support. When issues arise, their teams can respond quickly, often before problems significantly impact users or applications.

Support for disaster recovery and resilience: MCSPs help design, manage, and test backup and disaster recovery setups. While customers still define recovery goals, providers help ensure systems can be restored quickly if something goes wrong.

Ongoing platform management: Cloud platforms change frequently. MCSPs help keep infrastructure components current and compatible, reducing the risk of outdated configurations while allowing customers to control when major changes are introduced.

Security expertise and tooling: Cloud security requires specialized skills in high demand. MCSPs bring experience with identity management, monitoring, compliance tools, and security best practices. Security remains a shared responsibility, but providers help strengthen day-to-day protection.

Improved reliability and performance: With experience running large and complex environments, MCSPs can help design and operate cloud infrastructure thatโ€™s more stable, scalable, and resilient.

Integration with existing systems: MCSPs help connect cloud resources with on-prem systems, applications, and identity platforms. This makes it easier for users and applications to access cloud services without disruption.

More predictable operations, not always lower costs: While MCSPs can reduce internal staffing and tooling costs, they donโ€™t always lower overall cloud spend. Their value today is more about operational efficiency, expertise, and speed than cheaper cloud pricing.

Key considerations when choosing an MCSP

As organizations move toward more autonomous, AI-driven services, MCSPs play an important role turning automation into something that actually works every day, says Manny Rivelo, CEO at ConnectWise, a provider of IT management software.

Rivelo says one thing matters more than many teams realize: operational transparency. Organizations need a clear view into how their cloud environments are designed, secured, and managed, as well as how agentic AI monitors systems, makes decisions, and takes action so nothing important happens behind the scenes without their knowledge.

โ€œOperational maturity matters more as autonomy increases,โ€ Rivelo says. โ€œThis includes disciplined data governance, strong physical and logical security, and well-defined incident response processes that balance automation with human oversight. While agentic AI can detect issues, correlate signals, and respond at machine speed, humans remain essential to set policy, validate outcomes, and make judgment calls when conditions fall outside expected patterns.โ€

Itโ€™s also important that the MCSP fits well with the managed services model and the broader ecosystem around it, according to Rivelo. The right provider should use automation and AI to make things simpler. After all, when automation is done right, it backs up the people doing the work, brings more consistency to operations, and gives teams more time to focus on what actually matters, not manage another set of tools.

One factor that often gets missed when choosing an MCSP is how flexible pricing really is, says Jon Winsett, CEO at NPI, which helps enterprises get more value from their software licenses and navigate audits from vendors such as Microsoft, Oracle, and Cisco. The risk with an MCSP is usually not paying more at the start but losing negotiating power over time without noticing it.

MCSPs can be a big help for smaller teams or organizations still building cloud experiences, he adds. By combining cloud spend and packaging services, such as migration support, rightsizing, and cost controls, they can cut down on waste and make the cloud easier to run. For organizations without strong cloud or FinOps skills in-house, those benefits can be worth the tradeoffs.

โ€œAs cloud environments grow, pricing often becomes less clear,โ€ says Winsett. โ€œMCSPs add their own markup on top of Microsoft or AWS pricing, up to 8% for basic spend and more when services are bundled. That managed layer is how MCSPs reach profit margins of roughly 30 to 40%.โ€

Disadvantages to working with an MCSP

The biggest disadvantage using an MCSP is loss of control, according to Ryan McElroy, VP of technology at tech consulting firm Hylaine.ย 

โ€œIf you get discounts for various licenses, but youโ€™re locked into contracts and have to overbuy, then you may not be saving money,โ€ he says. โ€œAnd an MCSP adds to your organizationโ€™s attack surface area. While Microsoft and other large cloud vendors train their MCSPs and provide guidance, if you read the root cause analysis reports produced after major cybersecurity incidents, youโ€™ll find itโ€™s a worryingly common vector.โ€

Anay Nawathe, director at research and advisory firm ISG, says that while working with MCSPs has many benefits, there are also risks.

โ€œYour MCSP shouldnโ€™t be the main voice of architecture in your organization,โ€ he says. โ€œArchitectural decisions should be owned internally to maintain key systems knowledge in-house, reduce vendor lock-in, and mitigate architectural bias from a provider compared to market best practices.โ€

Additionally, he adds that MCSPs donโ€™t always feel the same pressure to manage costs as the companies using the cloud. In the end, enterprises are the ones who feel the impact of overspending, which is why many bring FinOps roles back in-house to take direct control of cloud costs, he says.

Fearing an AI bubble? CIOs have answers

8 January 2026 at 05:01

While there may be a lot of โ€œhysteriaโ€ surrounding AI right now, Jim Palermo, for one, isnโ€™t too concerned about a potential AI bubble.

Palermo, CIO of Trimble, a $3.7 billion platform company serving the engineering, construction, and transportation industries, says that despite the noise, Trimble will continue investing in the technology to drive innovation and improve productivity.

Palermo is among the CIOs who think an AI bubble is not unrealistic, but are taking a measured approach to adopting the technology. The level of concern, Palermo says, โ€œdepends on how much youโ€™ve drank the Kool-Aid.โ€

Other IT leaders say an AI bubble wouldnโ€™t indicate the technology has no future but would be more about inflated expectations colliding with operational reality. The real risk isnโ€™t investing in AI, they contend, but in betting on unproven models, vendors, or single-use platforms.

In light of concerns over inflated company valuations, IT leaders advise their colleagues to make more disciplined and informed decisions, and consider shorter contracts to hedge their bets in case the technology or market shifts. They also counsel peers to tighten governance and get small proofs of concept (PoCs) under their belts before committing to full-scale initiatives.

De-risking AI commitments

As for the AI industryโ€™s future, Palermo believes there will be โ€œa lot of point AI solutions that are going to disappear โ€ฆ over the next year or two.โ€

โ€œI think that the larger platform ecosystems are really starting to have a strong AI foundation, and theyโ€™re โ€ฆ better able to articulate how they can leverage AI,โ€ Palermo adds.

โ€œAny CIO is trying to take advantage of those types of ecosystems because weโ€™re spending millions of dollars on that software,โ€ says Palermo, who sees governance as a key priority in ensuring the appropriate rigor around security and privacy for AI rollouts. โ€œSo, I think youโ€™re going to see CIOs double down on that.โ€

One strategy CIOs are using to hedge against a potential AI bubble without stalling progress is to separate capability from hype, says Shawn Jahromi, founder and principal advisor at Alpharay Consulting.

โ€œCIOs are funding narrowly scoped AI use cases tied to operational metrics like cycle time reduction, error rates, and cost containment,โ€ says Jahromi, who is also a doctoral researcher in digital transformation and AI governance. โ€œThis limits exposure if valuations or vendor viability shift.โ€

CIOs are also treating AI as an operating model change rather than a technology purchase, he says. โ€œThis includes governance, accountability, and human override structures. CIOs who do this are less vulnerable to bubbles because value creation is embedded in workflow design, not tools.โ€

The CIOs Jahromi works with โ€œare not slowing AI adoption. They are de-risking it structurally.โ€

Staying resilient is a core strategy

Another strategy Jahromi sees CIOs implementing is retaining architectural control by prioritizing data ownership, model portability, and vendor exit options. โ€œThe goal is resilience,โ€ he says. โ€œIf an AI vendor fails or pricing collapses, the institution does not lose decision rights or operational continuity.โ€

Bread Financial CTO Allegra Driscoll is taking โ€œa measured, super pragmatic approachโ€ to AI investments, and says leadership is not interested in โ€œchasing the best tool or being first to market.โ€ Itโ€™s important to build capabilities that create value while maintaining resiliency, she says.

โ€œWeโ€™re focused on high-value, proven use cases,โ€ Driscoll says, adding that she spends a lot of time โ€œevaluating a full set of risksโ€ with all Bread Financial tech investments. โ€œSo, I feel really confident that those high-value, proven use cases weโ€™ve moved forward on and put into production are going to continue to provide value for [us] and our customers.โ€

Staying the course with AI starts with the outcomes CIOs are trying to drive, Trimbleโ€™s Palermo says, as well as working with the business on solving pain points. โ€œThat protects you from complete chaos,โ€ he says. โ€œCultivate that spirit of innovation, but there should be some rigor when you go from innovation and ideas to actual production. Thereโ€™s got to be some governance around that.โ€

Further, CIOs shouldnโ€™t hedge against AI โ€œas much as being intentional and designing for resilience,โ€ says Anurag Sharma, CTO of VyStar Credit Union. This is especially important for financial services firms, he says, โ€œwhere trust and stability matter as much as innovation.โ€

To that end, VyStarโ€™s approach is to use AI where it clearly solves a business problem, improves outcomes for their members, and enhances operational efficiency โ€œwith a deliberate focus on strengthening fundamentals that will outlast any hype cycle,โ€ Sharma says.

This requires clean and well-governed data, modular and interoperable architecture, and people who understand both the technology and the business, he says.

โ€œIf the AI bubble cools, these fundamentals and investments will still compound value and improve safety and efficiency; if it accelerates, we will be positioned to scale responsibly without compromising compliance or member experience,โ€ Sharma says. โ€œThe goal shouldnโ€™t be to chase the shiny AI at all costs, rather, to remain adaptable, financially disciplined, and be able to pivot with confidence.โ€

Reigning in tool sprawl

A lot of enterprises struggle with tool sprawl, and in an uncertain economy, CIOs are doubling down on reining in tool overload and spending. Palermo says Trimble is beginning to rationalize and create metadata around the software they have and whether there are 10 tools that do the same thing. This is particularly true of AI tools, so Palermo is working on tightening up their source to pay process โ€œso we get more rigor around ensuring weโ€™ve got everything thatโ€™s coming in registered.โ€ That way, if someone is looking for an AI tool IT will have vetted it and can make a recommendation.

โ€œWe want to drive innovation [using] groups of tools that satisfy particular needs in the AI space,โ€ he says.

โ€œBuying up a lot of tools can create an architecture thatโ€™s very complicated, and if youโ€™re not sure thatโ€™s going to produce lot of value, then the risk of having one link in the chain fail on a critical process is probably not worth it,โ€ agrees Driscoll.

Anchoring low risk with high value

Bread Financial will โ€œcontinue to invest in high-value use cases going into 2026,โ€ such as a knowledge management capability IT built for the companyโ€™s customer care agents, Driscoll says. At the same time, โ€œwe approach all new technology in a similar way โ€” we try to slow down to go fast.โ€

Like Sharma, she says that consumer trust is paramount, โ€œso we tend to spend a good amount of time building out a robust, controlled environment and make sure we understand the full scope of risks. Then weโ€™ll chose a use case or use cases that are low-risk, high-value, to start to build experience across the team.โ€

That approach will continue, especially as they build out knowledge management use cases and start to use agentic AI.

Sharma also anticipates continued investments in AI in 2026. โ€œThe percentage of our IT budget dedicated to AI investments will depend on various factors, including the evolving landscape and specific business needs,โ€ he says. โ€œHowever, we remain committed to leveraging AI where it makes a meaningful impact on our operations and member experience.โ€

Vendor consolidation may heighten risk exposure

Benjamin Hori, cofounder and CSO of Spotlite, an online booking platform connecting models with fashion brands and agencies, believes the signs of an AI correction are already here, and startups are being impacted, which creates exposure to risk.

โ€œWhen dominant players begin bundling capabilities that eliminate the need for entire categories of startups, we see immediate fallout โ€” rapid consolidation, abrupt pivots, and smaller vendors disappearing overnight,โ€ Hori says. โ€œThat instability directly impacts security teams that rely on those tools.โ€

One of the clearest indicators of whatโ€™s real versus hype is whether a company is training its own models โ€œor simply wrapping someone elseโ€™s API,โ€ he says. โ€œFrom a CSO perspective, that distinction matters because it affects data control, attack surface, long-term viability, and ultimately, risk. A vendor without proprietary models or rights-cleared datasets has no defensible foundation, and that becomes our risk exposure.โ€

To hedge against AI volatility, Hori says Spotlite prioritizes partners with distinct data advantages, strong governance practices, and architectures resilient to market shifts. โ€œWe also build flexibility into our stack so weโ€™re not dependent on any one model provider,โ€ he says, โ€œespecially in a climate where startups can vanish quickly.โ€
